HOT HOT H.E.A.T

I haven't written since August and I can't believe why really or yes I can. There is so much going on and the time never seems to be enough. The last time was when I had been to the Hadiraja festival and places some videoclips here with Erik and Jona. Since then if I just take August there were boardmeetings both at work and at the Rheumatic association. Mandy turned 25 and had a party with family to celebrate. She later also had a party with friends of course. At the Rheumatic association we had a big trouble when our newly elected chairwoman said she was immediately leaving her post due to doubts about the mission. We then had to discuss how to deal with this which took a lot of time. We also had a chairmen conference planned in September with a set program that we suddenly had to change completely. This also took a long time. In September I turned 62! Yes you read it right. I can't believe I'm 62, It doesn't feel like it, at least not in my head but my bod...

Our yard with snow, photo by me It seems like everyone we know is going somewhere to a warmer climate. Well, I can't blame them. We have had rather chilly weather with snow the last week. Wednesday Gunilla and her Per took off to Jamaica, Montego Bay for 14 days. She will celebrate her 50th birthday there (but the party will be in June) Then yesterday my niece went to Australia for a year. She will live and work there and she has a friend who will also do the same. It's better when they are two, a bit safer. Tomorrow Jonas and Mandy fly to Fort Lauderdale for 3 nights, then they fly to Tulum in Mexico for 14 days and then back to Florida before they come home again. Another grandchild graduates now in January and takes her Master of Engineering after 5 1/2 years of studies at Uppsala university. After that she and her boyfriend takes off to Sri Lanka for vacation before starting working. And I also have relatives in Thailand. But I stick to this cold and snow. W...

And then it was work but only for 3 days. I then went to my friend Suzanne who does my hair. I always like it when I leave because she's so good in what she's doing. Also we have a lot of fun everytime. I don't get any champagne or wine (Jo) but we do "fika" which is a very Swedish thing to do. We drink coffee with some buns or cakes or something and we chat and we laugh. Last week also the Rheumatic association started again for the autumn-season. We are going to have a conference September 4 and 5 so we had a lot of planning to do. Next day foot care at the podiatrist. Very nice and so needed :-) On Sunday I "borrowed" Mandy (Jonas sambo) and we went on an archipelago cruise. Do you see a pattern here? This time to Moja which is as far out you can come before open sea. We didn't go ashore. The weather was fantastic and we had lunch onboard and then we sat out on deck. So wonderful. And Mandy even saw a seal! The head of a seal...
